Being creative during the times of Matisse took courage, but creativity truly is the embodiment of bravery today. Those who still try to pursue new jobs and markets even in times of daily crisis, instability and fear, are brave, as much as those who defy stereotypes and lazy habits.

According to the philosophy of Albert Einstein, one cannot solve problems with the same mindset that generated them. Nowadays, more than ever, we need to change our mindset.

\nWe got lazy and banal by living above our means, having everything we want at our reach and fearing risk. On the other hand, we should challenge ourselves every day, as new stimuli are out there for us to discover. True creativity lays within our daily routine.
